As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine and looked at Yin Liuli.

Yin Liuli slowly chewed the food in her mouth, glancing back sideways.

"Why are you looking at me, Lord Marquis?"

Just now, I heard her chatting away with Madam Zhen outside the door. Her voice was light and melodious, and she seemed quite charming. But when she turned to talk to him, her voice was filled with an indescribable chill.

Those eyes were big and bright, with clear black and white. They were the most pleasing eyes for a girl, yet when she looked at him, they carried a sharp edge that sent chills down one's spine.

Yin Jingtang involuntarily shuddered, and vaguely tried to cover it up.

"No, it's nothing... Madam, Liuli, please have your dinner first, I'll go take a look."

He originally wanted to ask if it was Yin Liuli's doing, but now he didn't dare.

But as soon as this girl came back, she turned the whole mansion upside down. Who else could have such a thing as her!

What on earth is this thing he brought back?!

If I had known, I would have preferred my whole family to be exiled!

……

"Let me go! Don't grab me, please don't grab me..."

"Ghosts, ghosts... there are ghosts everywhere! A big, iron-blue face, full of fangs, with eyes bigger than a cow's, just staring straight at me!"

Several smaller ones, like mischievous monkeys, were holding iron forks. They impaled me and sent me flying into the sky…

"Help! Help! I don't want to go to hell! I don't want to be boiled in oil! I don't want to be boiled in oil!"

……

From Zhulan Courtyard came Wang's terrified screams and cries, as if she had seen a ghost. The servants were all silent, hiding in the corners, not daring to utter a sound.

The room was in complete chaos.

Madam Wang had just been forced by Zhang Mama and two of her personal maids to use a bowl of bath beans to clean herself.

The sight of their faces and heads covered in excrement disgusted them. They gagged as they washed, changing the bathwater bucket after bucket, and even after three or four washes, the smell still lingered.

Just then, a maidservant came in carrying a garment, startling her again. She jumped out of the bathtub, naked from the waist down, and ran out.

"A ghost! A ghost is coming to grab people..."

Granny Zhang's face turned green, and she gathered her men and gave chase.

They finally managed to subdue her in the hallway and dragged her back into the house, clumsily dressing her.

If word got out that a mistress was running around the yard naked, how could her family ever face anyone again?

It took Zhang Mama and several others a great deal of effort to finally pin the madwoman Wang Shi down on the bed, holding her and trying to soothe her.

"Madam is having a nightmare. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

"Madam, look carefully, where are the ghosts? This old servant is here with you, Madam. Even if there are ghosts, you should catch this old servant first, shouldn't you?"

"Madam, please have some calming tea..."

"Where is the Second Miss? Why isn't she here at this hour? Quickly send someone to look for her!"

……

The maidservant outside quickly came in to report.

"Reporting to Granny, the Second Miss was just here, but she turned around and went out again. I just went into the room and couldn't find her."

Granny Zhang waved her hand angrily.

"Useless thing! Where is the master? Has he arrived yet? Go fetch him now!"

"The master is here!"

The butler rushed over and stood at the door, saying, "Granny, is Madam ready? Master will be here soon."

"All packed up."

Granny Zhang nodded knowingly.

When the lady was first rescued from the latrine, her head and face were covered in excrement and urine, and soup was dripping from her hair. She looked like a filthy mess.

The smell was so strong that it could knock a person over even if the wind blew for miles. If the master saw this scene, the mistress would never be able to see him step into this courtyard again, even if she broke her back!

The old man has an honest face, but he's actually quite cold-hearted.

"What happened? How did it end up in the latrine?"

Yin Jingtang strode in with a sullen face, unconsciously raising his hand to touch his nose.

It might be psychological, but even though the room was full of the smell of bath beans, he always felt there was a hint of stench mixed in.

"Sir, Madam is extremely frightened, please take a look."

Granny Zhang rushed forward, her face filled with grief and indignation, and said, "Madam didn't fall into the latrine! She was sleeping soundly, so who would go there? She must have been bewitched! Master, you must seek justice for Madam!"

"A ghost... there's a ghost..."

Wang Shi, with her wet hair and clothes clinging to her body, huddled in the corner of the bed, trembling and hugging her knees.

That once charming face was now deathly pale, covered in stray hairs, with a faint black shadow under her eyes, her gaze empty and filled with terror.

What the hell? She looks exactly like a ghost right now!

Suddenly, the image of Zhen Shi flashed through Yin Jingtang's mind.

Zhen was a renowned beauty in the capital, and he went to great lengths to marry her. They were happily married for several years.

However, Madam Zhen was too aloof, gentle and quiet. Even in bed, she was often shy and reserved, like a young girl, making her a veritable ice queen.

Later, he met Wang, a woman with a fiery temper and alluring charm. Although Wang was far less beautiful than Zhen, she was very seductive.

The two secretly slept together for two years until Wang became pregnant and made a fuss with him, so Yin Jingtang simply married her.

When Wang entered the household as a concubine, she put Zhen in charge of the household debts. Not long after, she sent Zhen to the "cold palace" in the backyard.

Because of her daughter's illness, Zhen Shi became even more neglectful of her, so Yin Jingtang simply turned a blind eye to Wang Shi's suppression of Zhen Shi.

Looking at the two women now, and comparing them, he couldn't help but feel a surge of regret.

Did I also have shit for brains back then?

"lady."

Yin Jingtang took a deep breath and patiently walked to the bedside to ask, "Are you feeling any better?"

"Don't arrest me! Don't arrest me!"

Wang screamed and scrambled across the bed like a dog to escape.

"Big ghost... Big ghost and little ghosts have come to capture me! Please, please let me go! I'll burn incense for you from now on, and I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Madam, look who I am!"

A flash of annoyance crossed Yin Jingtang's face, but he suppressed his anger and said, "What ghosts, big ghosts or little ghosts? There are no ghosts here. Why would a ghost grab you..."

"Yes, yes, why are you arresting me? Go arrest that bitch!"

Wang shuddered, then raised her pale face and suddenly revealed a sinister smile, "I'll give you as many incense sticks and ingots as you want, just go and catch that slut!"

And that little bitch... mother and daughter are both bitches! Drag them to hell and boil them in oil!

They stole my position, acted arrogantly in front of me, and even tried to take over the entire Marquis's mansion! They deserve to die!

The master deserves to die too! He just stood by and watched me being bullied by that wretched mother and daughter, and he didn't even help me!

I used to think he was such a good person, but who knew he was so stupid as to offend the prime minister, causing his whole family to be exiled...

Hahaha... You idiot!

Yin Jingtang's face immediately darkened. "Shut up! You...you're utterly unreasonable!"
